In 2024, a Department of Conservation (DoC) bird banding employee sent us weldable band waste to explore as a recyclable material—and it worked! The result? Re:Band—a limited edition range crafted from repurposed bird banding waste, turning conservation leftovers into something meaningful.
Each piece provides a tangible connection to bird conservation efforts, raising awareness about Aotearoa’s unique wildlife. Even better, proceeds from every sale support Forest & Bird, helping to protect and restore native habitats.
Wear conservation with pride.
Dimensions: 1.5cm diameter, stainless steel backs. Note that the design means that these can be taken apart and worn as plain studs too! Two pairs on one!
We always ship plastic free.
